Resum

The aim of this paper is to develop a methodology for the validation of a Finite Element Model (FE model) which represents commercial brake caliper. The materials' characteristics are totally unknown so Genetic Algorithms techniques and experimental tests such as test temperature and deformations have been used to determine them. Finally it presented a general vision of these techniques' potential to reduce the costs of testing and prototyping models which have been replaced by Finite Element Method (FEM). © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2013.
